Grex Micros Item 226: Code pages for other countries and languages in DOS/lynx
Entered by keesan on Mon May 1 14:26:32 UTC 2000:

I am trying to find a way to display other character sets while running lynx
(DOS, Procomm, grex).  There are instructions about how to modify config.sys
and autoexec.bat, using display.sys, country.sys, nlsfunc.exe, etc., and a
list of country and language codes, but it calls for doing nlsfunc <
country.dat, the latter being some file that I do not have.  (The example was
Spain.dat).  What is this file?  Is it simply a font for the other character
set that gets loaded into the buffer?

Kermit supports two of the three commonest Cyrillic code pages, but apparently
not Windows code page 1251.  Has anyone used Kermit and if so, is there a way
to easily add other code pages?

The nlsfunc route requires VGA rather than Hercules card.  Does anyone know
a way to display other fonts on a VGA system the same way that you can with
Hercules Plus card and TTL monitor (in particular super and subscripts in text
mode).  I would like to simplify my life by having only one monitor.
